Recently, overseas media exposed the price of four-wheel drive Camry, excluding freight. The starting price of the entry-level LE model is $26,370 (about185,000 RMB), while the starting price of the top XSE model is $365,438 +0.405 (about 220,000 RMB). By simple comparison, the four-wheel drive version is 1.400 USD (about 1.000 RMB) higher than the front-wheel drive version.
Ten thousand yuan can be upgraded from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive, and it is estimated that many consumers in China will be moved by it. However, according to Daoye's prediction, the gap between the domestic four-wheel drive version and the two-wheel drive version will not be so small, and manufacturers will definitely widen the gap-if you want to have off-road capability, you must pay the price.
The four-wheel drive version of the Camry will be equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 149kW and a peak torque of 251n.m. The transmission system will be matched with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and equipped with an AWD four-wheel drive system.
According to different working conditions, this four-wheel drive system can transmit 50% of the torque of power to the rear wheels. When four-wheel drive is not needed, the electromagnetic control coupling can also separate the transmission shaft from the differential lock, thus reducing fuel consumption.
The dynamic torque control four-wheel drive system developed by Toyota comes from RAV4, which can only match the powertrain of 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and 8-speed automatic transmission. In addition to Camry, it will also be applied to Asian dragons, but only for American cars.
The new car offers two front grille options, and the rear adopts bilateral and unilateral exhaust layout, which further highlights the sporty feeling of the model. The exclusive badge of AWD four-wheel drive models is installed above the tailgate.
The interior of the new car is eye-catching, equipped with a three-spoke multifunctional steering wheel and an embedded central control screen. It is worth mentioning that the Camry AWD has a dynamic torque control function, which can control the torque distribution between the front and rear axles. On the other hand, the transmission shaft is expected to save fuel consumption as much as possible in cold, rainy and snowy weather without sacrificing the all-wheel drive ability of the automobile.
Camry is a classic model of Toyota. It has been 38 years since the first generation of Camry appeared in 1982. For decades, the sales volume of Camry has been far ahead of the same level, and the domestic sales volume reached 185245 in 20 19 years.

In China, Camry's sales are enduring. Among the Three Musketeers, Teana has been gradually marginalized, and only Accord and Camry have always loved each other and killed each other.
The four-wheel drive sedan is not the first time Toyota has tried the water. As early as 1988- 199 1, the Camry four-wheel drive version was launched. At the moment when crossover cars and SUVs are hot, four-wheel drive cars still have a certain market appeal. For this reason, Toyota returned to its old business and launched the Camry four-wheel drive version 20 1 1 in 2009, and the price was not announced until recently.
